"Seen much of this world?", Ghosh asked Ashoke [...].
"Once to Delhi", Ashoke replied. "And lately once a year to Jamshedpur". [...]
"Not this world", he said. "England, America".
"My professors mention it from time to time. But I have a family", Ashoke said.
Grosh frowned. "Already married?"
"No, a mother and father and six siblings [...]".
Ghosh shook his head. "You are still young. Free", he said, spreading his hands apart for emphasis. "Do yourself a favor. Before it's too late, without thinking too much about it first, pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can. You will not regret it. One day it will be too late."
